Sigmund Freud, father ofmodem day psychology had a theory that the mind was divided into

three sections. Two of these sections were subconscious, and the other was our conscience. He divided the

subconscious into the Super Ego and the Id, and he labeled our conscience the Ego. The Super Ego

represents our closed-minded pessimistic side often instilled upon us by our parents and society. This is

not necessarily a bad thing; rather it is what makes us do things in a proper, rational, and secure fashion.

The Id is our primal side. It is often the drive behind our sexual urges. This is a bad thing ifnot controlled

in a proper (hence the Super Ego) fashion, but it is often the side that encourages us to take that leap of

faith every once in a while. The Ego can be looked at as our balance point. It weighs the influence of the

Super Ego and the Id before making a decision. Since life does not turn out perfectly, neither does this

piece. In order to represent the unpredictability of life I have written three different codas. The frrst one

represents when we give into our primal and sexual urges and ignore our rational side. The second coda

represents when we give into our rational side and don't bother taking that adventurous step that needs to

be taken once in a while. The third coda represents when we are able to balance our rationale with oUI

primal urges and come to a hannonious conclusion. The choice of the coda to be played can be up to the

conductor, the enseInble, or the audience, as long as the choice ofcoda is detennined before the

perfonnance is started.

This piece is dedicated to Peter Weber.
